He's funnier than Dave Letterman, as is just about everyone else on the planet.

You take that back!!!!! At least if we're talking about Dave back on NBC. He's still funny today, though.

letterman = comedy gold

conan = comedy gold

leno = Hee Haw

(although, to be fair, back when leno used to regularly guest on the letterman nbc show, he was one funny mofo. since taking over for carson, he's had to tone it down to a level that older folks would understand/not be offended by/can tell to friends.)

I dunno....that shit was funny to me when I was a kid growing up in the deep South.

my father loved Hee Haw when I was a kid. I was forced to watch it each Saturday night (at least I think it was Saturday nights..my mind has since entered a defensive state and refused to recall details about that period in my life). To this day I openly weep and try to run when I see someone emerge from a corn field.

You're also able to choose between protected and unprotected sex when you get busy with your partner(s), the latter leading to pregnancy and children. You'll be the most important influence in the lives of your children, so if you're an evil bastard, your child will likely be a bully. If you don't treat your wife well, she can fool around behind your back and will eventually ask for a divorce - taking half your worldly possessions with her. And if your wife dies, your children will be shipped off to the orphanage. It's a cruel world.

And in a very interesting twist, if you choose to be a female adventurer you'll have to carry and bear any children you have, leaving your husband to tend the homestead.

hmm,12 hrs bare bones playthru...i can live with that,Fable II is one of those games where you (or at least I)want to try and get as much done as poss

argh, 12 hours? i'm finally playing fable on my 360 and i was truly disappointed to see that I was more than halfway through the game at the 7 hour mark when I checked out my progress against the faq on gamefaqs.com.

p.s. for the first 6 hours or so, fable on the 360 was stable as could be (albeit with the ocassional issues with sound that some mentioned previously). however, about an hour into the arena fight quest, the dang thing crashed on me.

I played the demo of this game. It was an exercise in tedious mediocrity. I'm not sure what is supposedly innovative about it. The Norse Gods being heroes is something you would find in a Marvel comic. People using swords in a world full of guns is a Jedi thing and I daresay it's even older than that (I suppose one could even point to renaissance warfare). Even having a moronic, drug-fed camera which has a fixation upon walls and the angles of uselessness is hardly anything new. Oh but wait, there's robots! Oh my, where would we have ever seen robots or cybernetic beings before? And the robots are trying to kill humans! The creativity!

I don't get it do I? I don't get it like rabid fans of the Matrix sequels will insist I just don't get those pieces of crap and their Yakov Smirnoff style philosophy. Well, I sleep soundly and untroubled by my ignorance, I'd rather not get a pile of steaming awful.

while i'm not getting the game myself until it drops in price in the used section of gamestop, i'm not sure why it seems to be evoking such vehemence from you? did the makers of the game slap you as a child or something?

Last night I was reminded of a movie that I have to watch whenever it's on: Soldier. I can't help it. I like Kurt Russell movies. Plus, he plays the entire film with such a blank expression that I'm fascinated by him everytime he appears on screen.

I was surprised when I was getting my butt handed to me in that first hangar bay scene in the demo and I accidentally force grabbed one of the suspended Tie Fighters and it dropped on a group of attacking stormtroopers, crushing them in the process.

I like it so far. I can understand some of the complaints being tossed around, but for the most part it fulfills my need for "baddassery".

the one near me likes to play a little game called "hide and seek" with theirs. one week it's near dvd's, the next week it's in toys. last week they actually moved the red tagged clearance games onto the pc and video game shelves.

I love Eureka. The stories are light but fun, the lead actor who plays the sheriff has fantastic comic timing and comes across as less a "Sci Fi Original Movie Square Jaw Hero" than he does a regular guy stuck in a weird situation who makes the best of it. It's one of those rare shows that has the right mix that keeps me coming back each week...

...now i'm getting out of here because i haven't watched last night's episode. it's waiting on my tivo for me.

Jeez, it's like a present day version of Battlestar Galactica around here. The "ragtag fleet" of old GG'ers are heading to planet Console after planet Gone became...well...Gone.

Thanks for accommodating us KD. It almost makes me feel bad when, about two years ago, I told you I didn't like Suikoden III because I had a thing against the anime style graphics of Japanese RPG's, and you kept telling me to give it a shot and it would change my mind (at least, I THINK that was you). :lol:

Anyone have any definitive answers on the fate of gonegold? I'd like to know Rich is okay.

I think the clerk handled it quite well. It's like R rated movies. the cashier can't stop an adult from taking a child into the movie. the responsibility is firmly on the parent or guardian at that point.

Well, it reminds me a bit of a parent who will say, "Look, my high school kid is going to drink alcohol. I would rather they did it in my home where I can at least keep an eye on them, than out somewhere, especially if they have to drive." I actually think this is a good idea. Better than a clueless parent who either assumes their kid doesn't drink or one who adopts a don't ask/don't tell policy.

i tried to use this excuse with my parents when i was about 12. they didn't think that at that age I should have access to firearms, liquor and prostitutes though.
